The global cancer treatment market is witnessing a rapid growth in Gastroesophageal Junction Carcinoma with the increase in the geriatric population worldwide and their high susceptibility to GE junction cancer. In June 2012, the American Geriatrics Society reported that about 30% of the American population were aged sixty five and above.High treatment cost associated with GE junction cancer is reported to be a major factor which will hinder the growth of this market.

Geographically, North America leads the global GE junction carcinoma market and is followed by Europe with the increase in awareness among the general population and technological developments in available treatments. However, high prevalence rate accounts Asia-Pacific (especially China) as an emerging growing market for GE junction carcinoma.
